QPA1008 Overview
Qorvo's QPA1008 is an S-band two stage variable gain driver amplifier in a 5x5 mm QFN. The QPA1008 operates from 2.7 to 3.8 GHz and provides 31dBm of P1dB output power with 26 dB of large signal gain and greater than 30% PAE. The QPA1008 includes a 30 dB attenuator at the input, and a simple resistively coupled (~-20 dB coupling) power sampler detector at the output.
